I bet you could see anywhere from 5k-10k per GPU depending on clocks and WU. Personally, I wouldn't fold on that 8300. The amount of heat it would produce and the amount of power it would use wouldn't be worth it in my opinion.

I've tried to fold on a Quadro K2000 with adv. core 17 and would not go above 10K PPD. Same "384" / 3x Kepler SMX modules as the 610s you are proposing.

Doesn't worth the watt/PPD, not by a long shot.
A single 660ti / 670 can be had used for as much as 3x 610s, and top 70K routinely (seen 100+K spikes with my 670 SC for some units when clocked + bonuses). A decent 430W PSU can easily support a 660/670 or even 680 folding.

Hi pcfoo,

Firstly, I have opted for 3 x GT630 (same core count as you mentioned Per gpu card)

Secondly, as previously mentioned I want silent folding as much as possible (ie as little fans as possible) so adding a 660, 670, 680 woul defeat that goal and each of the cards and certainly the 680 would have a larger Power draw than the 3 Kepler based (25W) GT630s

As I have said, its going to be an interesting experiment.

EDIT - hang on, did you run 3 x K2000 or 1 x K2000, the K2000 is 384 SMX, where as I will be running 3 x 384 SMX.

You'll only need to wait a few minutes to see what the PPD is going to be for each setup. It can vary between WU, but you'll at least get a good ballpark look within the first few WU's of what your system is going to handle.
